ACase of Deafness Cured.
Office of Shaw x Baldwin's Wholesale !
Notion House, Toledo, o.,

Dec. ii, 1879. J
FL. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.-Dear
Sirs: About three months ago, noticing a
letter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure of
his son by the use of Halls CataTrh
Cure, we were induced to commence
the use of it for our daughter Nellie now
fourteen years old, who has been suf-
fering from catarrh for about eight
wears, during which time she has been
treated by one of the best physicians in
the city. We have also tried the use of
almost all the known remedies for Ca
tarrh, with no more success than tenn
porary relief, Many nights have we
laid awake to hold her mouth open to
keep her from strangling. Her hearing
had also become affected. We were
afraid that she would never recover.
We have now used six bottles of Halls
Catarrh Cure. and we believe Nellie to
be entirely cured In few days after
commencing the use of it we noticed a
decided change for the better, and
from that right along she was improved,
until now she breathes as freely as any
one. She sleeps well and her hearing
is perfectly good. We feel that the dis
ease is entirely removed. We write
this unsolicited letter, feeling that it is
due you, and with the hope that others
may oe benefited in like manner. We
can hardly realize that such change
could be affected in 50 short time after
battling with the disease so long. We
are still using the remedy at intervals,
as it seems to build up her system. You
are at liberty TO this In any manner you
sc proper. We are yours, truly,
Mr.. and MRS. s. BALDWIN.

BUSINESS TRANSFER.

The negotiations that have been pend
ing for some time for the sale of the
Christensen Bros. stock of goods were
closed Monday, and the new firm, Oh
sen, Nelson & Hamburg took possession.
The Messrs. Christensen will remain in
the city only long enough to arrange
their business affairs, when they will go
to their California home. They will be
found in the store as usual until their de-
parture. The new firm will continue
business at the old stand, and will put IN
a new stock after the holidays. In the
meantime the goods will be closed out
as cheapiy as ever. Mr.. Hamburg was
formerly connected with the Scandinav-
ian grocery store in Sundt & Madson's
block. We wish the new firm abundant

STATE NEWS.

The Methodist State convention,
which is to be held in the new Central
Park Methodist church, in st. Paul,
March 27-29, 1885, is to be composed of
a lay delegate for each fifty members of
the Methodist church in Minnesota and
all ministers. 1t includes the German,
Norwegian and Swedish conferences, as
we'll as the English speaking. There
are about 600 delegates expected. 1t
will begin with grand banquet. This
is laymen's movement, but includes
the pastors. Prominent Iaymen from
abroad, several bishops, the missionary
secretaries and the church editors are
expected to be present.
Judge Kelly in the Ramsey county
district court filed an opinion in which
he declares certain assessment in St.
Paul invalid on the ground that the pub
LEGATION of the notice was invalid. The
point involved is that the council in
designating the official paper, named
the paper as the st. Paul Globe, where
as, to have made it technically valid it,
should have been ''The st. Paul Daily
Globe" The result is that all the assess
ments in that city for two years will
have to be re-enacted by the council to
to make them legal, and even this may
not prevent the serious litigation that IS
threatened.
The 100 saloons of st. Paul are all run
ming on licenses for which they paid
800 per annum. Seven hundred of
these run out January LIST, when they
must be renewed under the new high IL
Cense law at 81 900. However, not an
application has yet been made for IL
cense for 1888 and IT is necessary under
the law that all applications must be in
the hands of the council committee on
nHisances two weeks before granted or
rejected. 1t is less than two weeks to
January LIST. The saloons of st. Paul
will therefore open the new year in a
strange predicament. Only thirty will
have the right to sell any kind of bev-
erage, malt, vinous, or spurious, and If
any Of the others attempt to keep their
doors open after the opening of the new
year they are liable to a heavy fine, and
will forfeit the right to sell liquor for a

THE annual report of the Secretary of
the Interior has been made public. In
the first portion Of the report, relating
to the public lands, he again recon-
mends the immediate repeal of the pre-
emption laws, the timber-culture acts
and the REIMBURSEMENT acts, and also
the cash entry laws and the desert land
law. During the year fences were re-
moved from nearly 100000 acres OF
public lands that had been illegally
closed. The Secretary suggests the en-
actment of law making false and fraud
ulent returns of public surveys penal
offense, and providing penalties for the
destruction or removal of surveying
monuments, and legislation providing
for the trial and determination of private
land claims. He says: THE vital ne
cesslty for legislation looking to the
preservation of the timber resources OF
the country becomes more urgent every
year. The annual loss to the Govern
ment by the destruction of timber by
fire alone is estimated at 5000, 600"
